10mbs connection problem

I have a 10mbs connection. When downloading any particular file, if I use Internet Explorer to download it, the speed I get is only about 100~200kb/s
But when I copy that file's link into a download manager (I use flashget), the speed I get is 1.2mb/s which is more closely match to the 10mbs.
How does this happen? Does IE have download speed limit or something? I messed around with IE once (can't remember what I did) and managed to get it to download at 1.2mb/s but then it dropped down after a few days of use.

IE will normally report the files in kB/s rather than kbps - in other words kilobytes per second rather than kilobits per second. 100-200kB/s is equivalent to 0.8-1.6Mbps, so looks like it is in the same range as reported by your download manager.

Check the units carefully - I suspect that you are not comparing like with like.

Both download manager and IE are set so that it dispay KB/S
I understand what you mean but that is not the case.
To make it more clear to you, IE gives me a 1-2mbs connection while with a download manager i get around 9-10mbs

The flashget download manager most likely opens multiple threads and breaks the file(s) in smaller chunks in no particular order and then reassembles these chunks on the destination PC creating a much faster throughput. As compared to IE which would only create one thread to download the said file(s). You would be able to confirm this by doing a little research on the dl mgr itself.

No, it isn't IE limiting the connection, but more likely the remote server. Using a download manager and splitting it into chunks will
optimise the download. You can get the same effect with IE by downloading 4 files at once. You will see the aggregate download being greater than the speed you get with any single download.
